WP:NOTABILITY -- I'm not finding any reference supporting his notability; certainly, the references listed do not qualify. Nat Gertler (talk) 00:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm inclined to say delete, but I wouldn't rush it. I think the term video game developer, or at least the subject's role as one, needs to be more clearly defined. Video games are usually developed by large groups of people that are part of a video game developing organization. Was he one person in a twenty-person team that developed terrain graphics, or did he play some larger role like project manager or even owner of a development organization. This definition might narrow the scope enough to turn up better sources, but I doubt it. StandardSwan (talk) 03:18, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable person; nothing immediately seen at gnews or google beyond being in a credit list. To StandardSwan's comment, you are absolutely right - in most cases, there's teams of tens and hundreds working on a game. Even just leading development doesn't assure notability. There are a handful of developers however that have been recognized as visionary leads and thus are obviously notable through sources, but this article here is not one of them. --MASEM (t) 14:03, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: At this point I agree with Masem. Fails WP:N. The only possible hope notability for this article is a claim that the individual founded Invisible Wonder Games, which also appears to be non-notable. StandardSwan (talk) 16:17, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
